Doh! Just found the answer to my own question.
If anyone else is interested, I discovered that slackening off the four bolts holding the blades rise/fall/tilt mechanism (two with Allen head bolts and two a bit deeper down with cross-head bolts I think) allows for enough movement to get the blade back in line again.
Nice, square, accurate cuts at last....
